What customers say
The KAT Crusader keycaps earn high praise for their exceptional quality and unique typing feel. Users consistently highlight the smooth PBT material and the satisfying deep sound signature produced by the comfortable medium height spherical KAT profile. The Crusader colorway is admired for its sharp contrast and clean dye sublimated legends, showcasing excellent manufacturing quality and a striking aesthetic. While the final product is considered a premium investment justifying the cost for enthusiasts, the notoriously extended group buy fulfillment timeline significantly frustrated many buyers, tempering the overall purchasing experience. The product itself delivers superior feel and looks.
Know before you buy
The KAT profile is a sculpted, spherical profile that sits between the height of Cherry and SA profiles. It offers a comfortable, uniform feel with a slightly larger surface area for your fingertips, making it well-suited for both typing and gaming.
These keycaps are made from opaque PBT plastic and do not feature shine-through legends. While they will fit on keyboards with RGB lighting, the light will not pass through the characters, meaning the backlight will only provide an underglow effect.
The legends are created using a doubleshot injection molding process. This means the characters are molded into the keycap itself rather than printed on, ensuring they will never fade or wear away over time.
The PBT material provides a slightly textured, matte finish that resists the shine that often develops on ABS keycaps after heavy use. It offers a dry, tactile feel that is generally preferred by enthusiasts for its durability and resistance to oil.
The KAT Crusader set uses a standard MX-style stem, which is compatible with the vast majority of mechanical keyboard switches, including Cherry MX, Gateron, Kailh, and most other common brands.
